I dont really understand this point -- is it based on some empirical evidence?
my opinion is that
- other than the first "enabling", every pipeline runs unattended
- people are not going to gain any "respect" for "pipeline greenness" by hiding the pipeline
- commits that fail the pipeline are still bad if the pipeline didnt run, so why hide that information?
- if you want people to "respect the pipeline" you want more noise on such bad commits, not less?
